Stress has taken its toll! [EN] // [ES]

avatar
When I was 17, and my lifestyle changed radically, as I had only been at university for a couple of semesters and stress had taken hold of me for the first time in my life, I remember waking up one morning with a strange sensation in my body and a photosensitivity that I had never experienced before. I went to university as I did every day, and in the afternoon, while I was at a friend's house studying, I wondered, what was wrong with my face? Until that moment, I hadn't noticed anything beyond the strange sensation and persistent tearing in my right eye. I replied that I didn't know, that I felt strange, but nothing else, and we continued studying. When I got home that same day, I realized that the right side of my face wasn't responding the same as the left, and that's when the alarm bells went off.



A medical examination later left me with a diagnosis that I didn't agree with, but I completed my treatment, and months later, I was practically the same as before the event. However, the after-effects always remained on my face. From that event on, I decided not to take things so personally and to try to avoid stress as much as possible. Although it sometimes got the better of me, I always came out unscathed, until a couple of weeks ago. the truth is that I have been under constant stress for a couple of years, which has caused me some health complications that, luckily, I have managed to overcome. However, this time, my blood pressure was affected and did its thing. Now the left side of my body is paralyzed. Although not completely, it is quite evident and annoying.



After a week with blood pressure like a brand new roller coaster, I am now stable, slowly resuming my normal activities as much as possible, sleeping like a newborn, because yes, this condition has left me a little dazed. The human body is wise after all. I had been wanting to sleep a little more for months, to rest from so much hustle and bustle, and in theory, they lowered my breaker, and I had to rest and sleep compulsorily, although I'm not complaining about that. My complaint is that I still have a lot of things to do, and being in bed doesn't allow me to move forward, So, putting stress and worries aside, they didn't go away with this little reckoning that my body gave me.

I am convinced that this is temporary, and we need to find the positive side of all this, which, to be honest, I haven't found yet, apart from the hours of sleep I have recovered these days.

Cuando corrían mis 17 años, y el cambio radical en mi estilo de vida, pues apenas tenía un par de semestres en la universidad y el estrés me hizo su presa por primera vez en la vida, recuerdo despertar una mañana con una sensación extraña en mi cuerpo y una fotosensibilidad que nunca había experimentado, me fui a la universidad como lo hacía a diario, y en la tarde, estando en casa de un amigo, mientras estudiábamos, me pregunto, ¿Qué me pasaba en la cara? Hasta ese momento no me había percatado de nada, más allá de la sensación extraña y un lagrimeo persistente en mi ojo derecho, le respondí que no sabía, que me sentía rara, pero más nada, y continuamos estudiando, al llegar a casa ese mismo día me di cuenta de que el lado derecho de mi cara no respondía igual que el izquierdo, y allí se encendieron las alarmas.



Una revisión médica luego me dejó con un diagnóstico que no me parecía, pero cumplí mi tratamiento, y meses después, ya estaba prácticamente igual que antes del evento, sin embargo, las secuelas siempre quedaron en mi rostro. A partir de aquel evento decidí, no tomarme las cosas tan a pecho y tratar de evadir el estrés todo lo que pudiera, y aunque en ocasiones me hacía su presa, siempre salía bien librada, hasta hace un par de semanas, bueno, la verdad es que llevo par de años bajo un estrés constante, que me ha generado algunas complicaciones de salud, que por suerte he logrado librar, sin embargo, esta vez, la presión arterial se vio afectada e hizo lo suyo, ahora el lado izquierdo de mi casa ha quedado paralizado, si bien no en su totalidad, es bastante evidente y molesto.



Luego de una semana con la presión arterial como una montaña rusa recién estrenada, ya estoy estable, retomando de a poco mis actividades normales, en la medida de lo posible, durmiendo como recién nacido, porque si, esta condición me ha dejado un tanto atontada, el cuerpo humano es sabio después de todo, llevaba meses queriendo dormir un poco más, descansar de tanto ajetreo, y en teoría, me bajaron el breaker, y me toco descansar y dormir obligatoriamente, aunque de eso no me quejo, mi queja es, que aún tengo muchísimos pendientes y estar en cama no me permite avanzar, así que, dejar el estrés y las preocupaciones de lado, no se fueron con este pequeño pase de factura que mi cuerpo me dio.

Tengo la convicción de que esto es pasajero, y toca encontrar la parte positiva de todo esto, que, para ser sincera, hasta el momento no la encuentro, más allá de las horas de sueño que he recuperado estos días.

Hola, no es fácil dejar el estrés de lado pero con la ayuda necesaria, el simple hecho de comunicarle a un ser querido lo que te puede estar ocasión estrés y aceptar, el validar lo que sientes puede ayudar mucho a drenar y bajarle el ritmo. Deseo se recupere pronto

El problema está, cuando no tienes esa ayuda necesaria, cuando no validan esas emociones, y comienzas a sobrecargarte, gracias a Dios ya estoy muchísimo mejor, retomando un poco mis actividades habituales, y tratando de no darle importancia a cosas que no la tienen, gracias por tus palabras y disculpa la respuesta tardía.

Hello @fmbs25. Reading your story that began at such a young age truly hit me. I'm reminded of several ailments I experienced as a teen and just chose to ignore. One was arthritis; the other, HBP. I didn't even tell my parents the symptoms I experienced because of allowing external elements to cause me stress. Once I discovered that HBP was in my family, together with stroke, heart problems and diabetes, I couldn't ignore my family history any longer. My parents both died from massive heart attacks, HBP, and stroke.

I live daily on several medications for HBP; diabetes, and heart. That's stressful enough because of the side-effects from each and all the different medications racking my insides simultaneous. But I try to deal with it.

Writing, especially fiction writing and creating digital art has been my savior to calm me. I allow the darkness to spill onto the page through those mediums.

Hope you feel yourself soon. Take care of yourself and don't allow outside stressors to evade your personal space.

When we are young, we don't pay much attention to these kinds of things, but that's when we should take action to avoid greater problems, something we usually realize when it's too late. This week I received my new glasses, so I hope to resume my escape valve, which is writing here. The truth is that it's a necessary form of therapy. I hope you are well. For my part, I feel and am much better. Best regards and apologies for the late reply.

No worries. I've been a bit busy offline taking care of projects I've put off for a while. Now they are catching up with me. I promised my daughters I would continue minimizing my home for the downsize we plan later this year. Hopefully, I can keep my part of the deal. It's a struggle letting go of "collectibles", and I don't understand why. Moving them around ain't gonna get it, they warned me, lolol.

Thanks so much for responding. Wishing you wellness for the future. Take care.
